Movies, being made from books has
been a trend in Indian film making. But, the gist that some directors
add to it makes them even more cherishable
than the original works.!
Abhishek Kapoor truly delivers the essence
of the book. !
Converting a 350 page novel, into a 70 mm frame and that too of no more than 2 hrs and 20 mins..! Its one hell of a task. But, this man did it, and not just presented a replica of the work, but added a new zeal and grasp, with all the minute detailings. Sitting on the seat, it actually made me feel ,as if i were in ahmedabad, sitting just behind those three fellas, in the sabarmati sports club.!

Once, in a 1000 years, we get to witness change
of the millennium. And for we
gujjus something new is always
awaited eagerly and anxiously. Every year, on the day of "padva" (gujju new year) we
get that internal zeal in our
hearts, that feeling of newness,
as if from the next sunrise , we are
going to have a fresh start, a new
beginning. We make new
year resolutions, we take the
blessings (of course, along with the
money) and make all those
crazy and aspiring wishes in our
hearts. Well, if the change
of one digit
can make such difference,
imagine the zeal and anxiety , that the roll, of 1999 to 2000 can bring.! Youth
is what life is.! You have sky high ambitions where you feel that you have to and
need and want to rise
above the ordinary, you have unconditional friendship, where nothing else
seems more pacifying than the
company of those silly fellas around you, sitting at a local "laari" and having
the same bread
pakodas everyday and making crazy
plans with no points. You have that
frustration, to overcome your failures and
prove to people, and most importantly to your parents
who don't yet take you to be
worthy of having being born. This
is all that comes out "of " and "between" 3 friends, Ishaan, Omi and Gopal who open a sports
academy amidst the vast city in
the try to fulfill their ambitions. Not
knowing that the change of the millennium is about
to unfold the wrapper and bring
them to "LIFE"...!!
Once again, directors and film makers have proved that, its they who make actors and not actors who make them. ! Again a not so star studded cast, but yet adds full stars to the movie. Shushant singh Rajput lives the character to its utmost depth, and truly the last still of the movie showing him in the sunlight, leaves him stamped on your hearts. The way he delivers his dialogues is just flawless. And also, one of the very rare actors who get the pleasure of having their first dialogue on the 70 mm screen as "bhenchod" !!! :P! Bhai shab k baare me jitna bole utna kam, just i would say, " my vote for the best debutant male " !

Amit
sadh, gave me goosebumps
in the scene where he
is repenting his parents' death..! I must say, amongst all three, the most drastic change came in his personality and character..!
Loved it...! Rajkumar yadav, as
we know always
does justice to his
selection, and so does in this
flick too.! The way he freaks
out, and starts stammering a
bit when situation is all fucked
up is brilliant. Also the actress
, vidya looked quite adorable in her role, and didn't try to be pretentious. Abhishek kapoor's minutest detailings like
the writings on the walls behind, use
of gujrati words like
dafod, ghel sapoo and my fav
" maayy jaa" just added to
the feel of the movie. ! The man, lived
the gujrati culture wholeheartedly. All the songs
no doubt were mind blowing, but
felt that 1 or 2 more
would have done
no harm to it. Background
score was fantastic, and made
the picturisation just perfect.! Worked as the
cherry topping on the
chocolate pastry.!
Just felt that the climax could have been shown a little more detailed as in the novel, and maybe a little more fierce,,!!
All in all, after dil chahta hain, this is the second best movie that showed the audience that, love can be more deeper with your fellas than a girl next door. And made friendship an immortal relation once again..>!!
My bunk from school, and scoldings from home didn't go waste....! was totally worth it, and maybe shall again bear all the gaalis and go 60km to feel the kite sail again ..!
Kai po che...!!! ( the team really deserves to roar it aloud, as they have outdone their work )!!
